End of the month

Will someone please explain to me how it's the end of January already? I feel like the other day it was New Years Eve!

A great deal has happened this month:

My struggle with weight has begun anew. Though this is the third time, so I'm hoping it will be the last time I have to fight with it. Once I get to where I want to be, it will be a question of maintenance.

I'm the sole breadwinner again as Mike was laid off. Sucks, but we keep moving forward.

We're on puppy watch again. Gimli's breeder is going to mate her female dog. Hopefully the mating is successful and we'll have a puppy in the house this year.

I went on a vacation that wasn't really a vacation, because I had to deal with family stuff - ie coming to terms with my sick Grandmother and the realization that this was the last time I'll see her.

I returned home last Saturday and have been in a crummy mood since then. Am slowly getting better. I kind of feel like it's the lite version of the stages of grief. I think I've resigned myself to it. We all know our grandparents will die, but there's always that feeling that it's not going to happen for a long time. This time, I think it's different.
